Finalist in the 'Beyond Words 2015' competition

Snowflakes erupt from the sky sending shivers up your bones,
Spiralling and dancing, I'll waltz through your homes,
Lock the door, bar the windows, don't you dare leave,
Tragedy and snow are what I shall weave,
Cross your fingers, pray for end,
Destruction reigns once again,
Terror, desperation... White
And my heart, as cold as ice.
